Rise of the Gargoyles (La fureur des gargouilles in France) is a 2009 television film directed by Bill Corcoran and produced for the Syfy channel.

In Paris, France, two workers find a hidden chamber while digging beneath the Saint Jean André Church.

Meanwhile, the discredited Professor Jack Randall, who wrote a book about gargoyles rejected by the experts, is encouraged by his friend Carol Beckham to check the place out.

Jack decides to seek out the reporter of a sensationalist newspaper, Nicole Ricard, and gives his tape to her cameraman Walsh.

When Walsh recovers the badly shaped footage, he shows Nicole and they realize that Jack is not crazy, and he had indeed seen a gargoyle beneath the church.
